The map
Tewkesbury stands in Gloucestershire where the River Avon joins the Severn, and the town's shape comes directly from that meeting. Hemmed in by rivers and water meadows that flood regularly, it could never spread sideways, so the medieval core stayed compact and remarkably intact, one of the best-preserved in England.
On the map three main streets, High Street, Church Street and Barton Street, meet at a central cross in a clear Y shape. Narrow alleys run off them at right angles, packed tightly between timber-framed buildings. To the southwest the great Norman abbey and its grounds open up a rare patch of space, with the Severn Ham meadow beside the river.
Tewkesbury gave its name to a decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses in 1471, fought just south of the town. A Tewkesbury map poster shows the Y of old streets, the alleys, the Abbey and the two rivers that have both protected and flooded the town for centuries.
High Street, Church Street and Barton Street meet at the Cross, forming a simple and distinctive shape that has barely changed since the Middle Ages.
The Norman abbey church and its grounds sit at the southern end of the town, a large open space among the tightly packed medieval plots.
The two rivers meet beside the town, with the Severn Ham meadow between them. Their channels and mill streams make a complex, handsome pattern of water on the print.
